Tita Synthiea, let me educate you about 5 different types of qualitative 
research, I hope you learn and find them interesting. The first type of qualitative 
research is the ethnographic study, which includes the gathering and examination of 
information on a particular cultural community or region. In this study, the researcher 
is immersed in people and becomes part of their society, and they must be active in 
the day-to-day lives of the subjects. An example of this type could be “The daily 
experiences of people living in poverty in Tondo” since it specifically pertains to 
people who live in Tondo and who are in poverty. 
 
The second type is Phenomenological Study, which is where the researcher 
attempts to locate the essence or form of reality by demonstrating how complex 
concepts are formed from core elements of inner experience. This applies to the 
various perspectives and views of an individual's point of view, used to analyze 
situations, experiences, perceptions, patterns, and so on. The third type of case 
study is an in-depth analysis of a particular collection or group of individuals, the 
object of which is to provide insight into some kind of problem, as well as provide 
some context evidence for larger studies. A case study often requires a thorough 
and detailed review of a single person, community or circumstance over a period of 
time. 
 
The fourth type is narrative analysis; its primary sources of data obtained for 
this study are the life stories of people based on their personal experience. The key 
aim of this analysis is to draw from these interactions a concrete context. There are 
3 common types of narrative analysis; Psychological which means analyzing a story 
based on internal thoughts and opinions, Biographical which means taking the 
persons society, gender, and class into account, and Discourse analysis which 
formally pertains to which language the person speaks. 
 
And finally the fifth type Postmodern research opposed to conventional ways 
of qualitative data collection this method is the style of analysis that attempts to 
examine the information that have been described as facts, the capacity of research 
and science to ascertain the reality.  
 
Okay tita to help you further understand let me summarize and, compare and 
contrast each type of qualitative research for you, beginning with ethnographic 
research which focuses on a certain group of people comparing to case study the 
only difference of these two is that the ethnographic focuses on the environment 
and habits of the people while the case study focuses on gathering information 
through interviews. Next with the phenomenological Research it mainly focuses on 
gathering a in-depth opinion or idea of a simple topic, both similar and different with 
narrative it is similar since they are both in favor of gathering past experiences of 
their respondents the narrative mainly focuses on learning about the background or 
history of the person while the phenomenological requires to get and in depth or 
deep meaningful answer.  
 
Next type is Postmodern as mentioned it is different compared to the 
traditional types of researches, it mainly focuses on the determine information that 
have been proven to be facts, it cannot not rely on opinionated or non peer reviewed 
data.
